L1sheran Clergy and knights of Labor.

dispatch from Fort Wayne, Ind, says: The
Missouri synod, the principal convocation OF
Lutheran clergymen in the United States, con-
cluded its trfennial meeting by considering what
should be the attitude OF the Lutheran Church
toward the Knights OF Labor. The committee
appointed last year on that subject reported that
they were unable yet TO come TO final decision;
that they recognize that capitalists, in some
instances, Cypress the poor man, and they, there
fore the necessity OF resisting such encrOach-
nents; but they do not approve the means resorted
70 by Knights OF Labor In the battling against that
oppression; they condemn the boycott as a weapon
OF resistance and retaliation by the knights OF
Labor; they denOunce the practice or the Knights
OF Labor, who prevent non-union men from taking
the place Of strikers, and who deny their own
members the privilege OF returning 10 work at
Will; and they unequivocally condemn the man
ner In which strikes are now conducted. The
synod resolved to warn the members OF the German
Lutheran Church against joining the order.

A BRAVE BURMAa.-The Broad ArrOu

A BRAVE BURMAN.-The Broad Arro'V
quotes the following from an Indian
paper: 1--WE have been accustomed to
look upon the Burman as an arrant COW
ard. Without going so far as to maintain
that this is gross libel | will orieny men
ton a circumstance which if it don't modify
our onipion of him. will. at all events, in
duce us to think of him more kindly. Not
long ago 8 party OF infantry and cavalry
came upon some mounted dacoits. After
sharp encounter the dacoits we're put to
flight. One of their number was suddenly
hit by bullet and knocked off his pony
Immediately Burman ealloped back, and,
while tbs rest of the body rode on, dis
mounted, and picking up the wounded man,
Jumped on his pony again and rooe on.
This was done under heavy fire from our
men. and few ancers, too, were charging
down on him at full speed with levelled
lauces. 1t was an exciting moment. The
brave Burman urged his pony on, and with
much pluck, outpacing his pursuers, es
capped into the jungle as be we'll deserved TO
do after SO gallant deed. That was really
q brave action. That man risked his life TO
save his comrade. There was no lurking
hope of Interior reward. That cannot be
said of all the brave actions performed OF
battlefelds"
